Event Description

We are excited to announce our 1st Chicago HBCU 5K Run/Walk! Your generosity through sponsorships, registrations and donations will directly help support our Chicago students along with our members of  HBCUs in the midst of all of the challenges we faced as a nation in 2020.

This virtual experience will be like no other from our individual love to assist those in aspiring students in need, to the passion for our beloved institutions, to our competitive nature and drive to be the best. The later has brought about a friendly challenge with our HBCU Alliance communities in Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Our entire team is ready to assist you and truly humbled by your support of our mission and commitment to the students we serve - our future leaders. It is because of individuals and corporations like you that we are able to flourish, sustain and continue building indelible legacies for many generations to come.

How to participate HBCU 5K Run/Walk VIRTUALLY

Run or walk a 5k on the treadmill, around your neighborhood, your favorite walking trail or park, even your own backyard anytime between Saturday, June 19th and Saturday, June 26 . Registration will close on Saturday, June 26th.
